Yup JB, we have a room and you're in. I've taken Friday off work, not sure when I'll leave though.

We get outta work at 6 and planned on leaving straight away. We could meet up at a gas station or something on the HWY 11E exit right after 640 about 6:40PM if everyone wanted to.

Sounds good JD.

Chris I get off work at 5:30 and could be ready to very soon after. I'mnot sure about Shawn. I'll have to be on his schedule since I will be riding with him. I'm pretty sure he will be down with meeting up with who ever wants to.

Now: People who do not own a Subaru but do autocross and regularly whip up on local competition (in a subaru or otherwise) are encouraged to bump up to pro class. People who do not own a Subaru and who have never autocrossed, or always finish so/so at local events are encouraged to run the regular class the car they will be driving fits. If you own a Subaru and you regularly trophy or win at national level events, you should bump up to pro class. The people who should bump up, should know who they are, and if they don't, they will probably be asked by me at registration to bump up. So if you don't think you are one of those people, don't worry about it. If you think you may be, send me an email: pleiades@subaruworld.net and I will tell you.

Please don't let this go out of proportion. There are only about 5-7 people currently on the registration list that should go up to pro class, and 1/2 of them have already stated that they were going to do it anyway.

This is the final word on how this will work, so please do not come up with a load of suggestions about different ways to do it. If you have a better idea, lets think about it for next year's events, as it's too late in the game for this event to change the whole class system.
That's all you, Mr. '05 Mini Cooper S w/LSD!

No sir, PAX Man!

I've only embarrassed myself once in a Subaru. I'm running novice!!!

BTW - Do they ever have fun runs? Can I run the D stock monster once or twice? Or would that be counterproductive for Subaru?

I've never seen them do fun runs. It usually takes all day to get the ~100 participants through with 4 runs and then have the SUPERSTAR challenge.

You better watch out this year Tyler. Shawn's car is ALOT different than two years ago and I'll probably be spinning it again

I hadnt heard anything about the Pro class till now. Is it a class in itself or is it prd stx, pro sm, pro ds, etc?

Also about friday----I will be getting off of work at 5:30. How late do they keep the registration open?

V4P!
Tyler got us one. You may be able to split with OvenMitts and Not Cbring

That'd work for me.

I should be able to get off work by 6, but would need to figure out somewhere to put my car if I'm bumming a ride.
